Exhibit 1.1b Photo Gallery Plugin

Why not just put the preview thumbnail in its own frame?

@neil:
Because the frames take up a lot of space already. I lament the fact that I already need to keep my browser unreasonably wide when using Exhibit to appease my quirky aesthetic sense.
If you’ve got a cocktain napkin and can draw something better, let’s have a look.

@ringmaster:
I don’t think that adding one more frame to the right of the folder browser would be too bad…maybe you could make the folder tree a bit shorter too? I dunno, I’m not saying I had a better idea, just throwing it out there.
I’m still having trouble preserving the ordering of pictures…how does Exhibit handle this so I can have a crack at trying to sort it out?

@cdownie:
Are you using the Mingus release of WP or one of the RCs? The popup script is supposed to be inserted into the header of your page when you have the config set like you have it set, and it’s not being done. The only excuse I can think of for this is that your WP is not calling the “wp_head” hook, which was a problem with the RCs of 1.2. This would explain why you’re not getting the stylesheet include, either, which is also inserted in the head.
Be sure you’re using Mingus or upgrade to 1.3, Exhibit should still work. There is also a thread on this forum somewhere (one of the Exhibit ones) that talks about how to fix this issue in the 1.2 RC, but I’m too lazy to go searching at the moment. :p
@neil:
Hmm. You must have a particularly large screen, my friend. Much larger than mine here at work. I hate work. I digress.
Exhibit displays the photos in natural order. Which is to say, possibly the order in which you added them, possibly random. (Even if it seems random, there is actually a reason to it – filling in previously deleted records.) Unless you want to do it yourself, you’ll have to wait for my next big revision to reorder the images. It’s going to require an additional field in the table to implement.

*next big version* … waiting dude! good work ??

I have a strange problem.
I installed exhibit1.1b on my Wp1.2 mingus as the instruction told me, activated the plugin and vas eager to use it. But then, there showed up no exhibit-area in post page. I have the same problem with the Adhesive plugin too. The little sticky tickbox doesn’t show up. I’m beginning to think that this error is caused by WP as it affects two plugins but i have no idea why.

I have the same problem as you!
I thought it might be some plugins conflict problem. Then I instaledl a new and clean WP site, but it still didn’t work. I am so frustrated, but I am afraid that it’s because I am stupid. I have to go back to the side of the good and old WP-photos hack (thx to alex’s nice work).
Why?
Is it because I am using 2-byte characters?(I am not a native English speaker, excuse my poor English:P)
Any suggestion would help.

Hi.
I just intalled and have a small problem.
When I get my post all set up and done and click on “save and continue editing” if I look at teh preview of the post at the bottom of my page everything works great. I click on the thumbnail and the pop-up page works.
BUT
When I go to the gallery on the website and click on the thumbnail I get an js error. https://www.alacarde.ca/babyblog/index.php?cat=2
Thanks in advance

Thanks ringmaster. That was the trick.

No, it doesn’t seem to work.

It still doesn’t work. Tried the 1.1c version. But it partially works, i can see that in my posts where the call to the exhibit-table goes wrong as it is not created.

I really mean no offense.
I really want to try your promising plugins.
And I know I am not a wizard. But I am not a totally dumb, either.
So I know what is 1.2 Mingus. As I said, I have tried to install a whole new 1.2 mingus WP, then install your plugins. It didn’t work.
Thx for your suggestion, I mean it.
I am sorry for my poor English and I can’t use it to express my true feeling about my appreciation for your hard work. If my words make you feel bad or angry, I am truly sorry.

I’m not upset, I just want to see it work. It might be helpful if I could see the problem for myself. How broken does it leave your site? Could you let one post sit and give me a link to it?
Did you finally get the interface to appear? You need to create the table via the interface before you can expect posts to appear with images. There is a link to do this from the WP admin Write page.

I know that there should be a link in the WP admin Write page to create the table but nothing related to exhibit shows up there.

My probem is Exhibit never shows up under the content editing field, just like Tinwelint.
It’s my site: GameImp
In the Edit section, the page source reveals that Exhibit did worked or something. see below:

</script>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( https://www.gameimp.com/exhibit.css );
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* Support for inserting Exhibit thumbnails */
function edInsertFullsized(myFull, myCaption) {
myValue = '<img src="'
+ myFull
+ '" alt="' + myCaption
+ '" border="0" />';
edInsertContent(edCanvas, myValue);
}
function edInsertThumbnailLink(myThumb, myFull, myCaption) {
myValue = ''

It’s code between <head> and </head>.
That means the plugins did work, right?
I really don’t know why I can’t see the Exhibit area as you said.
I know many people ask you questions and help, some might be dumb as mine. You probable feel it’s annoying. If you think this question is unbearable annoying, I can understand. One thing I know is I am not a wizard, so I shouldn’t try to deal the wizard problems. When I found it’s a problem beyond my ability, I should let go. I have spend more than a week on Exhibit thing. You will never know how frustrated I am. I think the answer might be a very easy and silly one, but I just can’t get it.
Thanks for your reading. It’s a heart broken murmur from a sad man.
